Yeah, well… regardless of what you read here, President Clinton wasn’t a liberal. And Democrats aren’t as pro-gay rights as some would have you believe.
I couldn’t find anything either. It hasn’t stopped states from legalizing gay marriage, so maybe that’s why nobody has felt a need to challenge it.
Both the American Association of Blood Banks and the American Red Cross want to remove that ban, which is a relic of the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. It is no longer justified. However, the FDA, so far, has refused to allow them to make the change. I’m not sure of the reason for the bureaucratic sluggishness, but it isn’t based upon medical necessity.
“the gay lifestyle?” Is that like the lifestyle of the rich and famous?
Probably becuase you dont see a lot of adultery rights parades or find adulterers demanding their sexual behavior be given the same protected status of race, gender and country of national origin.um…just thought I’d point out that sexual positions other than missionary are used by both hetero and homosexuals.
Promiscuity is dangerous. It doesn’t matter who the parties are who are engaging in it, or how they’re engaging in it. Adultery is dangerous.
I oftern wonder why the considerable energy used by the opponents of gay marriage wasn’t and isn’t being used against adultery and divorce?
Probably because they don’t need to, their behavior is already accepted. Nobody is trying to stop divorce from being legal, nobody is pointing out that people who divorce or commit adultery are disordered, mentally ill or comparing them to serial killers. When was the last time you saw an article in the paper titled “Catholics Resist Divorce” or “Catholics Resist Adultery”?
I suggest you read the book “Male and Female He made them” by Mary Jo Anderson and Robin Burnhoff. The dangers are systematically outlined in this fine book.What dangers?This is a editorial piece written to put fear on something which there is nothing to be afraid of. What California’s ruling will due is sow seeds of unity across the country. Marriage for different-gender people will not change one bit.
NewUlm is emphatically embracing same-sex marriage not almost condoning it and yes that is a disconnect for someone who describes themselves as a cradle Catholic.It almost sounds like you’re condoning same-sex marriages.
What you fail to understand is that yes, we the Church recognize that all can fall into sin. But we are not to CONDONE that sin. In essence, you seem to be doing that.
I couldn’t access this site.
By right wing do you mean Catholics? Do you mean the Pope? Are you really not aware of the Churhcs harsh condemnation of adultery and Divorce? Or are you just trying to change the subject?
I’m not positive this is the same article, but it does have the exact same title:
I’m simply asking why we do not see the same level of outrage in the United States over divorce and adultery that we see over gay marriage. On this issue-the religious right is a large group that contains many denominations which advance a common argument against gay marriage that it will destroy the institution of marriage. My contention is that divorce and adultery have been doing a pretty fine job of destroying marriage for years, and those Christians who engage in those behaviors are not being called disordered, mentally ill or being compared to serial killers.
